When we see patients with arm pain, a trapped nerve in the neck is one of the possible causes. When this occurs, one of the reflexes, most commonly the triceps. Liz hurt her back, so decided to come to see us here at the clinic. Andrew examined her and found something interesting on ultrasound examination: a simple ovarian cyst, nearly.
Andrew listens to you and has helped me keep a check of my alignments for several years now. Always interested in me as a person and asks questions that could help him determine why certain areas cause pain. I trust his expertise and feel at ease with him. I thoroughly recommend Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic - the care I receive there is always excellent and professional.

Services
Andrew graduated from AECC in Bournemouth in 1986. He worked in a number of other clinics before starting Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic in 1989 (yes, over 30 years ago)! Andrew has a particular interest in stress-related back pain. He was previously responsible for the post-graduate training programme of local newly-qualified chiropractors.
When you first attend you will have an in-depth consultation. The chiropractor will ask you about your current situation as well as your medical past. The chiropractor will then examine you thoroughly to ascertain what is going on and what might be done to help you. Ladies will be given a gown to wear to protect their modesty.
Spinal exercises are often helpful to relieve pain and to help joint problems recurring. Exercises will stretch tight muscles and mobilise stiff joints. As a general rule of thumb, if an exercise is uncomfortable and then gets easier, it is a helpful exercise. Conversely, if an exercise creates an increasing amount of pain it is better avoided.

I have been going to Andrew's Abingdon Chiropractic Clinic for about 20 years, which on it's own speaks volumes, mostly this is my 4 annual visits, to keep me in shape; other interim appointments are for those specific back problems that arise from time to time. Andrew is always helpful and professional in all treatments with my health, if he spots something outside his remit , he will write to alert my GP.

Had a sever pain in my lower right leg, which came on suddenly. The Doctors suspected a blood clot at first, so sent me to the Churchill Hospital who did a scan, nothing; so then was sent to Abingdon Hospital for an x-ray on my lower back and leg, apart from some arthritis it was clear but the pain was still there, so my Doctor said she thought I may have a trapped nerve. Went to the Abingdon Chiropractors and saw Tara who was excellent and she quickly made a similar diagnosis to my Doctor. The outcome being that I had about 6 sessions with her and now I am fully back to normal, so I am very happy

Thirty years ago I was fortunate to find Andrew who has given me expert treatment and excellent advice every few months to maintain mobility. I am now in my nineties and still benefitting from Andrew's care and attention which goes way beyond what one would normally expect from a qualified chiropractor.

I’ve been seeing Andrew for over 16 years about every 3 months unless I have a problem and wIthout this treatment I would have dreadful back pain. The bonus is that every other part of my body gets checked over too. Andrew is highly knowledgeable on all health matters and I totally trust him for advice. The annual review is particularly useful especially now that most GP surgeries are too busy to perform all over checks. All that and such a friendly, place to visit - if Andrew wasn’t a chiropractor he could be in recruitment as all of his receptionists over the years have been amazing!
